Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds spotted at Taylor Swift's $17M mansion
Blake Lively was spotted squinting into the sunshine, dressed in floral shorts and a coral bikini top with her long hair styled in a bun, visibly relieved as her husband, Ryan Reynolds, arrived at the event.
Lively wasn't the only member of Taylor Swift’s famed Girl Squad at the gathering. According to DailyMail, Gigi Hadid also joined the celebration of Swift's Eras Tour success, accompanied by her partner Bradley Cooper and his daughter.
Cooper, dressed casually in a black t-shirt and shorts, mingled by the pool with Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany. The kids enjoyed themselves, splashing around in the pool while their famous parents relaxed in the sun.
However, Lively has faced criticism recently for her handling of the film 'It Ends With Us,' which addresses domestic abuse. She sparked controversy with a sarcastic comment during an interview when asked how fans could discuss the film’s themes with her.
Her lighthearted approach during a subsequent interview with costars Jenny Slate, Isabela Ferrer, and author Colleen, which focused on non-serious topics, further fueled backlash.

Amid the controversy, an old interview from 2016 resurfaced, where Lively made a hurtful remark about a reporter’s supposed pregnancy, which only intensified the public's criticism.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, back in the US after wrapping up her European tour, was seen enjoying a sunny getaway with her beau, Travis Kelce, at her $17 million Rhode Island mansion. This vacation home, famous for hosting Taylor's star-studded Independence Day parties, was the backdrop for their end-of-summer retreat.
The couple, joined by friends like Patrick Mahomes and his wife, enjoyed some quality time together, despite recent speculations about potential rifts caused by political endorsements.

As Swift and Travis soak up the last few weeks of summer before the NFL season kicks off and her tour resumes in Miami, their relationship remains strong, with Travis making grand romantic gestures, including a lavish $30,000 floral surprise to celebrate the end of Taylor's European tour.
Despite their busy schedules and long-distance moments, they continue to prioritize each other, staying connected through texts and video calls.

Blake Lively's appearance at Taylor Swift's mansion sparks discussion online
Following Blake Lively's first public appearance since the movie drama, many internet users have quickly shared their reactions on Daily Mail to her current relaxing moment.
One user claimed, "She’s gonna need her friends because she’s losing her fans!!!"
A second user said, "I find the entire "controversy" ridiculous. Although I agree that she comes across as very conceited, Blake Lively is an actress, why is it her responsibility to address domestic violence, be available to speak with victims who want to contact her, etc? To me it's just an excuse to practice "mean girl" behavior on her because she's disliked. So, don't go to her movie!"
A third shared, "She’s on vacation FFS. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks. If anyone thinks she does, they are delusional."
"So stunning, so brave. You got this, beautiful soul. x," one individual wrote.
Another person commented, "She has a bunch of kids - she should focus on them for a change."
